To please, he ought to have a Song or Dance,
The Tune from Italy, the Caper France:
These, these might charm——But hope to do't with Sense!
Alas, alas, how vain is the Pretence!
But, tho' we told him,——Faith, 'twill never do.—
Pho, never fear, he cry'd, tho' grave, 'tis new:
The Whim, perhaps, may please, if not the Wit.
And, tho' they don't approve, they may permit.
If neither this nor that will intercede,
Submissive bond, and thus for Pardon plead.
